Who qualifies for hair loss treatments

Our EU-licensed doctors assess each case individually to determine if prescription hair loss treatments like finasteride or minoxidil are appropriate for you. They look for specific criteria, including the type and pattern of hair loss, your medical history, and any potential contraindications. Generally, these treatments are most effective for androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness). The doctor will consider factors such as your age, overall health, and any existing conditions or medications that might interact with the treatment. The goal is to ensure the prescribed medication is safe and likely to be effective for your specific situation.

What these medications actually do (and don't do)

Prescription hair loss medications like finasteride and minoxidil work on different fronts to combat hair thinning and loss. Finasteride is an oral medication that reduces the levels of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that shrinks hair follicles in genetically predisposed individuals. By lowering DHT, finasteride can slow down hair loss and promote regrowth of thicker hair, particularly on the crown and mid-scalp. Minoxidil, available as a topical solution, works by widening blood vessels in the scalp, increasing blood flow to hair follicles. This stimulates hair growth and prolongs the hair growth phase. While both can be highly effective, they do not cure the underlying genetic predisposition to hair loss, meaning consistent use is necessary to maintain results. Expect to see initial results within 3-6 months, with full effects often taking 12 months or more.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, finasteride and minoxidil can have side effects. With finasteride, some men may experience sexual side effects such as decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, or ejaculatory dysfunction, though these are generally rare and often reversible upon stopping the medication. Minoxidil's common side effects include scalp irritation, itching, or unwanted facial hair growth. It's crucial to follow your doctor's instructions precisely and report any concerning side effects immediately. If you experience severe reactions, such as chest pain, dizziness, fainting, or swelling of hands/feet (rare with minoxidil), or severe mood changes (rare with finasteride), stop the medication and seek medical attention. Your Hi-Doctor will provide detailed information and guidance during your consultation.
